Editing Odelay (section)

==Title and artwork==
The title is a phonetic English rendering of the [[Mexican Spanish|Mexican]] [[slang]] interjection "''[[órale]]''", which translates roughly to "cool" or "ok"{{cn|date=January 2023}}. The phrase "odelay" is repeated in the lyrics during the [[Conclusion (music)|outro]] of the song "Lord Only Knows". According to [[Stephen Malkmus]], the title is a pun on ''Oh Delay'', since the album took very long to record.<ref>{{cite web|access-date=2011-07-07|url= https://www.spin.com/2011/07/qa-stephen-malkmus-new-lp-beck-more/ |title=Q&A: Stephen Malkmus on New LP, Beck + More|date= 6 July 2011 }}</ref> The album's cover is a photo of a [[Komondor]], a rare [[Hungary|Hungarian]] breed of dog with a heavy, corded coat, jumping over a hurdle. The original photo was shot by canine photographer Joan Ludwig (1914–2004) for the July 1977 issue of the [[American Kennel Club]]'s ''Gazette''.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://thefutureheart.com/2016/06/18/odelay-dog-akc-kennel-ludwig-komondor-beck-cover/|title=Beck's "All Original Collage" – the Artwork of 'Odelay' and How It Matches the Music within|date=18 June 2016}}</ref>
